Brazilian songwriter and chanteuse Claudia recorded this little gem in 1978; Epic issued it on both sides of the Atlantic in 1979, and here in the states it disappeared without a trace. It's too bad, too. This reissue brings to us, through the veil of history, the shimmering, glistening, stylishly glassy sheen that was Brazilian pop at the end of the 1970s. Not as heavy-handed as Julia or Deodato's records, and not as electronic as those of Sergio Mendes at the time, Claudia's music is still full of the gorgeous bossa stylistics that made her a star in the first place. Writing virtually all of the material herself with husband Chico, who did all the orchestral and vocal arrangements, and with production assistance from the incomparable Romeli Giosa, Claudia delved into the soul and funk of the era only lightly, dusting her specifically Brazilian tunes with a sheen of it for contemporary pop's sake ("Boiadeiro") and even harkening back to the strange rhythmic innovations of
tropicalia on "Rua 33 Numero Particular." Post bossa work also shows itself here is spades on "Ta-Lento" and the title track, with samba rhythms criss-crossing the mix and disappearing into simmering Afro-Cuban soul. This is a solid piece of work that belongs ion any serious Brazilian library. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Great Zeca, right now i'm getting that Abilio Manoel... but, i'm leaving this comment for another reason.. i was taking a look at the blog of this friend up there (now to the power of now)... but it seems he doesnt post the albuns for downloading.. and I could found there the Wando's first album - "Gloria A Deus No Céu E Samba Na Terra" 1973 Beverly
-, which I had never had the oportunity to listen to but have always heard good comments about it... so, I'd apreciate if you could post it or indicate somewhere where i can find it...
keep movin

Cool... can you give me your ID at soulseek?

Zeca,
Acabei de ouvir e chapei com este disco. Claudia foi perseguida pelo estigma injusto de ser uma "Elis Regina de 2ª classe". Basta ouvir este disco para perceber que ela não devia nada a Elis e nem a qq. outra cantora.
Que disco fabuloso. Como outra pessoa postou aqui, também ouvi falar dessa incômoda comparação com Elis Regina a qual a Cláudia teve se submeter ao longo de sua carreira. Nada mais injusto, uma audição mais atenta revela um canto personalíssimo.
